How do you attain the status of a "broadcaster?" For example when Sky News or News 24 review the newspapers they invariably describe the reviewer as a writer and broadcaster. The term "writer" is clear enough but what precisely is the distinction between a "broadcaster" and a "presenter" or "guest"?
Why does the news media insist on reviewing the newspapers anyway - when that is precisely what they don't do. They review the news in the papers - they don't sit there and say "I think the use of white space is sooooo 1993 and what were they thinking? Arial with that picture? Don't these people know what page composition is?"
How precisely is it "a great night for Britain" when an actor / sports person / writer / team / or whatever wins an international award? Does Helen Mirren winning an Oscar really make Britain great? Did Ricky Gervais Emmy win really make the world sit up and say "What a country?"
Why do the media use the term "record breaking" when referring to the number of casualties in Iraqi? It isn't "Record Breakers" with Roy Castle and Norris McWhirter keeping score. Why are they comfortable with reducing human cost of this unjust war to that of a fucking domino toppling competition?
